Providing valuable materials that tell our history and information that is in line with the times
The history of the University Library dates back to 1877 (Meiji 10). The Library is home to a wide range of materials, from Japanese and Chinese literature published before the Meiji period to electronic media materials. It safely stores many valuable works and special literary collections. Gakushuin University's library is divided into the University Library, as well as libraries and research facilities for various faculty and departments. These house approximately 2 million copies of the entire University's materials that can be centrally searched using our GLIM/OPAC library search system. Furthermore, these facilities offer an adequate setup of online databases and e-books including newspaper and magazine articles that are useful for preparing reports and graduation papers. An environment has been setup allowing access from home without having to visit the libraries. Also, 14 university libraries in the vicinity are also available for use through mutual use agreements.
